Pebble Beach No. 18

Pebble Beach Golf Links is revered for it s design by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant. Since 1919, the course never left the roster of great golf courses of the world. Any golfer who leaves this course unmoved, let alone unbowed, has missed what so many others cherish about this sacred place.

This finishing hole par 5 is one of the longest and most difficult on the Tour. The tee shot is most important because of the range of options. This hole is definitely risk-reward. Hitting the green in two has everything to do with ball placement and the elements blowing in off Carmel Bay. If one attempts to cut the corner, the ball should cut right to left in order to have a shot at the green. If the ball is struck poorly, one could easily end up in the sand or the crashing waves carrying your ball out to sea.
